    Because one doesn't know if the perl is the same than the one
    used for configuration, 

My hypothesis is that the code is written to work with most any
non-ancient perl and does not depend on configure-time tests.

    and this could even open security issues. 

Shrug.  Executing any program at any time is a security issue.  If a Bad
Guy has created an executable perl in the PATH, the system is hopelessly
compromised anyway.

    that it is better to have a repdroducable wrong path than a 'random' one.

Ok, if that's what you want.  I don't insist.
